Jiang Xinyu stepped in, holding an antique sandalwood box in his hand.
Wei Zhongwen greeted him enthusiastically: "Mr. Jiang, you are here. What is this object?"
Jiang Xinyu reached out and patted the lid of the box and said: "A string of Buddhist beads used by Zuo Zongtang was personally ordained by Master Hongyuan of Lingyin Temple!"
"This is a rare thing, Mr. Jiang, are you willing to take it?"
"As for me, my thinking is more traditional and I believe that real money is reliable!"
"Yes, you are right, please come in!"
The two of them stepped into the back room one after the other.
The two customers in the store were talking to each other in a low voice: "Did you see that the guy just now must have gotten into trouble and returned the Buddhist beads that Zuo Zongtang used? Why didn't he say that Cixi used them?"
"In these days, if you have a camel, don't brag, just take it for granted..."
In the back room, Jiang Xinyu opened the sandalwood box. As expected, there was a string of Buddhist beads inside. Judging from the texture and luster, it looked like a valuable old object.
"This is the list of spies placed by the military commander at the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army's military dispatch representative." Jiang Xinyu handed over a folded piece of paper.
Wei Zhongwen unfolded the note, glanced through it briefly, and said: "Great, this is important evidence that the enemy lacks sincerity in negotiating. I will forward it to our representatives as soon as possible to expose their hypocrisy!"
Jiang Xinyu warned: "Don't reveal all of these spy lists. It's best to keep a few to prevent them from finding out the source of the intelligence. Only a few senior officials at Yanjin Station know the details of this list."
"What should we do if we leave those agents behind?"
"Send people to spy on us secretly. We can also use these people to pass on some false information to confuse the enemy!"
"good idea!"
"In addition, there are a total of five bugs installed in the conference room and the room of the military dispatch representative. They should be easy to find and should be removed as soon as possible!"
"Okay! What else happens?"
Jiang Xinyu thought for a while and said: "Furthermore...you may also know that Hattori Mina is back, so Tongtong returned to the Wang family."
Wei Zhongwen nodded. He had seen Jiang Xinyu and Hattori Mina on the street, and said: "There is nothing we can do about this. I originally expected you to lobby Tong Wanqi, but now it seems that it won't have much effect."
"Old Wei, Tong Wanqi, this person, gives me the feeling that he is too arrogant and is used to being domineering. If he absorbs such a person, I'm afraid..."
"It's not about absorbing him into the organization, but I hope that at critical moments, he can play a role and stand on our side!"
"Oh, that's right...I still think the chance of success is low."
"Why?"
"The Tong family is extremely wealthy, Tong Wanqi's business is involved in all walks of life, and he has deep contacts with high-level officials of the government. Would such a person be willing to help us?"
"It is precisely because of this background that we must try our best to win over him! Besides, Tong Tong's persuasion may have a miraculous effect!"
Jiang Xinyu knew that this matter was meant by the above, and it was inconvenient for him to get involved more. He thought for a moment and said, "By the way, why did you inform me so late about Tong Dakui's incident last time?"
Wei Zhongwen said: "That night, something happened, and both Guan Qiang and Tong Dakui died!"
"Tong Dakui is also dead?"
"right!"
"what happened?"
Wei Zhongwen briefly recounted the situation that night, and finally said: "Although there was no danger, my work mistakes led to Tong Dakui's death..."
Jiang Xinyu waved his hand and said: "You dealt with it very decisively. If it were me, I could only do that at the time. The only regret is Tong Dakui's death."
"Do you want to tell Tong Tong about this?"
"It's not the time yet. In Tong Tong's eyes, Tong Dakui is not just a servant. We grew up together and there must be family ties. I'm worried that if she knows about this, she won't be able to accept it and will cause other things!
"
"But Tong Dakui has never returned to Chongqing. She will ask you sooner or later."
"Take your time and think of a solution!" Jiang Xinyu said with a wry smile: "It seems that the grudge between me and her can be said to be constantly being cut, but still chaotic!"
After saying this, he stood up and said: "I have to go back. If anything happens, the contact method remains the same!"
"This string of Buddhist beads was really used by Zuo Zongtang?" Wei Zhongwen asked.
"This is an object used by Wang Fengyuan, the prefect of Hejian during the Guangxu period."
Jiang Xinyu shook his head helplessly. Wei Zhongwen's attainments in antiques were actually not much better than Tong Tong's. One of them was 130 and the other was 120.
Wei Zhongwen sincerely praised: "Comrade Xinyu, I really admire you for your research on antiques..."
Jiang Xinyu smiled and said, "Turn the box over."
On the bottom of the sandalwood box is printed a line of small characters: The prefect of Hejian, Wang Fengyuan, was born in the 29th year of Guangxu's reign.
Wei Zhongwen burst into laughter.
…………
Juntong Yanjin Station.
Webmaster's Office.
Qiao Mucai paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back and sighed: "Director Dai has the foresight. Sure enough, there are some people with ulterior motives who cannot allow the military command to continue to grow! The military command bureau was changed to the Secrecy Bureau, and two-thirds of the personnel were eliminated...
Alas, our strength has been cut in half!"
Feng Qingshan said: "Webmaster, I just changed my name. You don't need to be too pessimistic. The power of the Secrecy Bureau is still the same as before. There is no change in essence."
Jiang Xinyu shook his head and said: "The problem is, with so many people suddenly laid off, our manpower is already insufficient, and now it is even more stretched! The Hunan Guild Hall originally used two groups of people, but now it must be reduced by half. There is nothing the students can do.
Erjia, a carrot, a pit, and an underground printing factory..."
Qiao Mucai thought for a while and said: "Let the students go first, don't check the underground printing factory, and monitor the Hunan Guild Hall with all your strength. Military dispatch is the top priority!"
Jiang Xinyu pretended to be helpless and said: "At present...this is the only way we can do it."
Qiao Mu sat down, took a sip from his tea bowl, and said, "Have you found anything about the intelligence on the Communist Party's military dispatch representatives?"
Jiang Xinyu said: "The Communist Party's military dispatch representative just arrived. They mainly arranged some miscellaneous trivial matters and did not monitor the substantive content."
Feng Qingshan smiled and said: "Captain Jiang, don't be discouraged. Their trivial matters only last a day and a half, and the substantive content will be there sooner or later!"
Jiang Xinyu thought for a while and said: "Director Feng, can you lend me a few people from the Intelligence Office? The underground printing factory just had some ideas, and then gave up like this... What a pity!"
Qiao Mu Caiyu was also very puzzled and said: "Yes, in the past two days, why do I feel that there are so few people in the Intelligence Department? Where have they gone?"
Feng Qingshan hesitated for a moment and said: "A few of them went on a business trip and haven't come back yet..."
